  7. http://www.cuonline.edu/GIS/ • This CU Denver MEng-GIS degree is multidisciplinary, involving: • Civil Engineering (environmental, geodesy and remote sensing, water resources, geotechnical and transportation) • Geography and Environmental Sciences (ecology, environmental impact assessment) • Urban and Regional Planning (spatial analysis, community development) • Information Systems (database systems, software engineering) • Applied Mathematics (probability and statistics, simulation and optimization) • Engineering Management (strategic planning, project management)

  8. What is a GISP? • A GISP is a certified geographic information systems (GIS) professional • A GISP has met the minimum standards for educational achievement, professional experience, and manner in which he or she contributes back to the profession • A GISP must abide by higher guidelines for ethical behavior • A GISP continues to educate and reeducate him or herself while preparing for recertification • A GISP has had their professional background scrutinized and reviewed by an independent third party organization. An Institute comprised of leading non-profit associations (AAG, NSGIC, UCGIS, GITA and URISA) focused on the application of GIS and geospatial technology • A GISP lives in all 50 States and 25 foreign countries • A GISP is more than a practitioner of GIS technology • A GISP is a professional • Similar to PE
